Ancon EdjPro EPHIMini

Edge Lifting System

The optimum solution for most plain and step-joint precast panels
The EdjPro EPHIMini Edge Lifting System has been specifically developed to be used in the Australian
construction industry for 125-200mm thick precast panels. The unique I-shaped anchor combines
maximum capacity and stiffness with a narrow anchor design for thin, heavily reinforced panels.
As with all anchors in the Ancon EdjPro series, the EPHIMini complies with the latest revision of
Australian Standard AS3850.

Note: An N12, N16 or N20 tension bar may be used according to the required WLL. The development length for the tension bars are based on a
concrete strength of 15MPa and a panel thickness of 100mm for N12 and 120mm for N16 and N20. 4db

Notes: Locate the perimeter bar above the EdjPro anchor to control flexural cracking. N12 shear ‘omega’ bars and edge reinforcement e.g. hooked or U-bars help control shear
cracking at higher loads. The standard shear bar is optimised for 125-150mm thick panels. Multiple bars or larger diameter bars with deeper embedment may improve crack control in
thick (175-200mm) panels. Panel cracking and shear spalling is possible if the designed loads are exceeded. Some anchor deflection is normal, particularly at large sling angles.
For other panel thicknesses, please consult the Leviat technical team for design advice. The WLLs shown in the tables above are based on a minimum distance equal to the panel
thickness between an anchor and any edge or penetration (e.g. a duct) and twice this distance between any two anchors.

i.e. sling angle = 0 to minimise concrete stress in the thin

edge. Always limit sling angles to 60 when lifting with or
without a beam.

Important! The EPHIMini must be installed with the EPRFMini (or EPNRF07) recess and lifted with the EPLCMini clutch (or the compatible but now
superseded EPLC07). This system is not compatible with other components without written authorisation from Leviat.
